I decided to make this the event of the evening -- what do we always think of when we think of New Year's eve - that infamous kiss at midnight! So....here's the fairy kiss image! These two are just two cute! Oh and I also used one of the Just Some Lines frames. What a great combination, eh?? You really should check out the Just Some Lines challenge Blog and check out the Just Some Lines store and grab a freebie, better yet - grab this image "Fairy Kiss"!

With Sympathy - I was thinking yesterday I need to make more of these - unfortunately, well, Mom called last night and a friend of hers passed. Shucks! So....here I go - I tried to do it CAS - not sure how CAS it is - but I am happy with the subtle colors and the pop of the turquoise! This is a digi doodle shop image that i printed some time ago and cut it with the out of the box technique but just hadn't used it! I added some lace and a rhinestone and yup - I would consider this CAS!

Love love the sentiment. I decided to use my newest purchase from Some Odd Girl Stamps! She's too cute - I thought she was perfect for this gift box!! The last one for my friend! It's a good thing also - because tomorrow I'm having lunch with her and gotta deliver them! So...simple I used my cricut to make the holly and Stampin up punch for the sentiment - fussy cut my Some Odd Girl image and voila! Another gift box! Fun Stuff! hope you likey!!

I just love love Paper Pretties. Is this guy too fun! In the image he's holding a sign that says Merci - but I cut that off and used it with the snow falling behind him! I fussy cut the image and placed it behind the negative from a nestie and the DCWV polka dots behind! The paper and greeting is DCWV. The snowflakes are from my beloved cricut! Too fun! Love this card and love these images!

Well, With Sympathy!! hits home big time this time! I absolutely love my clients! Well, one of my favs - 86 years old Mr. B passes away the night before! He was my lunch buddy! He would bring me roses and take me to lunch regularly. I live in a small town and it's not unusual to get very close to your clients. I'm a financial advisor and become very close to my clients. Anyway, this card is a Creative Need image and I used a couple of nesties and Stampin up punches. Oh - I paper pieced the flowers - love it! I hope you do too...but most of all.... This one is for you Mr. B - you will be greatly missed. Tell my daddy I love him!

This is this week's challenge from Lollipop Crafts Challenge Blog! Our ever so generous sponsor is Stitchy Stamps and the challenge is "Happy Holidays". I thought I'd take a different route this time. I used the silouhette. Don't you just love her?? I thought the sentiment from the DCWV Sticker pack of "Silent Night" fit so well. It's a silouhette which is understated and so is the title! Don't forget the week will fly by before you know it! So...come have fun with us and you could win some images from Stitchy Bear Stamps! You have to admit this is wonderful! Now go check out the rest of the design team at Lollipop Crafts Challenge Blog! They are so rockin' it this week!! and remember our sponsor -

"Hi my name is Stitchy and I am
Co-Owner of Stitchy Bear Stamps. We started this store on April 1st, No
fooling haha..I live in upstate New York with my husband and two TEENAGE
adults haha. I do say that loosely as they think they run the show
here, NOT...

I've been creating stamps
for less than a year now and I am totally addicted to the craft..I
started about 4 years ago making digital scraps and I knew there were
much more out there, so a friend of mine introduced me to digital
stamps...and the rest they say is history...I look forward to seeing all
the beautiful creations come through...good luck everyone... stitchy
xoxox"
